Hadley Green

Hadley Green is a 24-acre natural conservation park in the London Borough of Barnet, Hertfordshire, England. Created by 1345, it was the site of the major 1471 Battle of Barnet during the Wars of the Roses. The road running through the Green was the only route north out of London until the construction of St. Albans Road, and Hadley Green also bordered the forest of Enfield Chase, the royal hunting grounds used by Henry VIII, Elizabeth I, and their predecessors. In 1818, Hadley Green became a public open space.
